Dear editor( 编辑),   

  Can't your newspaper do something about the custom (习惯) of hitchhiking?

A short time ago, on a car travel I counted at least 50 people standing beside the road, asking for rides. Many of them were young women.

Don't they understand how dangerous it is to get into the car driven by a stranger? How much do they know about the driver? Is he a good driver or not? They know nothing!

Many of these young hitchhikers may come from good families. Don't their parents teach them anything about the world? I always taught my children not to talk to strangers. I never let them take rides from people they didn't know.

Isn't there enough crime (犯罪) today without asking for trouble by hitchhiking? On the other hand, hitchhiking may bring some traffic trouble. Don't you think what I said is true?

  Time is very important in our life. However, I had never realized it until I received a beautiful gold watch from my father one day when I was 19 years old. This watch always   16   me the importance of time in my life.

   It was a cold rainy day. My father asked me to go to the   17  to pick up my uncle and take him home. I should have arrived there before 4:30p.m. We had a basketball match at school that afternoon and the match was so __18  that I forgot the time. When the match was nearly over, I suddenly remembered my uncle and hurried to the airport .It was too late. He had left the airport and take a taxi to our house.

   I was very worried that my father would complain   19   the thing. As soon as I entered the living room, I saw my uncle in the sofa looking very tired. I do not   20  uncle and my father .I said hello to them in a very low voice .My father didn’t say   21   .Instead, he asked me to sit    22   him. “Peter, did you have a good time today?” I felt so sorry and answered in a   23    voice. “Yes, Dad, but I ’m really sorry .This will  24  happen again. I promise.”My father handed me a box with a beautiful gold watch inside .It was a gift my uncle bought for him. He gave it to me and said, “I hope you have learned something important today, and this watch will help you remember the importance of time.”

   The watch has been with me for twelve years .I wear it not because of its price, but because of   25   I learned. It tells me to respect(重视)and never be late to do what I have promised to .
